Biography

[edit]

Rina Kawaguchi, a native of Saitama Prefecture, was born on 24 November.[1] During her early career, she voiced characters in Rifle Is Beautiful, Chibi Maruko-chan, GeGeGe no Kitarō, One Piece, Digimon Ghost Game, and Sailor Moon Eternal.[1][2]

She voiced Reginleif in Record of Ragnarok and Celty Srowa in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?.[3][4] In 2023, she starred as Quan in Kizuna no Allele and as Ai Kamiyo in Dark Gathering;[5][6] she also performed both opening theme songs of the former as part of the tie-in unit PathTLive.[7] In August 2024, it was announced that she would star as Nico Wakatsuki, the main protagonist of Witch Watch.[8]

In July 2023, it was announced that she would voice Luca Ikaruga, one of the three members of the unit Cometik, in The Idolmaster Shiny Colors, a spinoff of The Idolmaster franchise.[9] After unsuccessfully auditioning for the Shiny Colors unit Noctchill, she successfully auditioned to play Luca; she recalled sounding differently from her normal self for her audition, as well as wearing platform shoes to compensate for the height difference between her and her character.[10]

She was already a fan of The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage by the time she joined Shiny Colors, and she considers Eve Santaclaus and Ranko Kanzaki among her favorite idols in the game.[10]

K-pop is one of Kawaguchi's favorite genres.[10]
